I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

The entire space is cylindrical, at least thirty meters high from the ground to the ceiling, and the diameter is incredibly large. Although the walls are distorted due to the growth of tree roots, it can still be seen that the walls here are made of blue-gray stone bricks, giving it a feeling of artificial construction.

Floating in the air, Ella waved her hand.

"Purification."

A faint white light sprinkled from Ella's hand. In just a moment, the highly toxic gas that had accumulated on the ground and was visible to the naked eye disappeared. To be on the safe side, Ella also attached a light shield to Luti that could purify the surrounding air.

Carefully using Hela to move the tree roots clinging to the wall, Lotte frowned slightly and looked thoughtful.

"This doesn't look like a natural formation. Are these tree roots from the upper levels?"

"Yes, it's the guardian of the ninetieth floor, an unnamed tree-shaped monster."

"It's not named? Does that mean no one has been here before?"

"That's probably it... The deepest adventurer group we saw was on the forty-second floor, and they seemed to be fighting a level 40 monster."

Lotte nodded thoughtfully, then seemed to remember something and asked Ella with curiosity in her eyes.

"So how many levels does this tree have?"

"Level 87."

"what……"

Seeing the curiosity in Lotte's eyes quickly fade away, Ella suddenly felt like she had done something wrong and immediately added something.

"Don't worry, the monsters outside can't get here. And the reason it's level 87 is definitely because it's been alive for a long time. Maybe it's been here since the underground labyrinth was created."

Judging from the terrain search, the owner of the tree roots occupies a height of at least 20 floors, roughly estimated to be around one thousand meters, which is a very terrifying height. Perhaps only the world tree of the elves can be compared with it.

Lotte asked after nervously shaking Ella's hand.

"Why don't the monsters outside come here?"

"Well... just like Lotte said, this is a man-made place. There's a magic circle engraved around it to repel monsters. Monsters will only get lost in the illusion outside."

The "Topography Search" shows this place as the "Demon King's Workshop - Labyrinth Manager's Room", so this place is likely a place created by the previous generation of Demon King. Although the scale makes it hard to believe that this is something built by the Demon King alone, after seeing the ultra-long-distance portal so large that even a dragon can pass through, Ella no longer feels surprised.

"And this is a very useful ingredient, you know? Even if you take it directly, it'll act like a high-level recovery potion."

To demonstrate, Ella took out a hand saw from the storage and began to cut the surrounding small tree roots under Lotte's surprised gaze.

Because the roots of the level 87 monster are extremely tough, even if Ella uses a hand saw mixed with mountain copper, it still takes a lot of effort to cut them, and she sounds like she is gritting her teeth when she speaks.

"This thing—it's just a tree—"

"Wait, wait, Miss Ella, won't this piss it off?"

While speaking, Luti acted as if she wanted to stop it but didn't dare to do anything.

"N-Never mind, never mind, Ice Blade."

Quickly giving up the hand saw, Ella directly summoned the ice blade. Perhaps because the target was plants, the roots were quickly cut into several sections, and Ella stored them together with the thick juice.

After selecting for a while, Ella showed Lotte a piece of tree root as thick as her arm.

"This can make a small bucket of high-grade recovery medicine, right? If you process the skin a little more, you might even be able to make a panacea."

"Advanced recovery potion? Panacea? Isn't that something you can't even buy with gem coins..."

"Yeah, so I found something good."

As long as it is used reasonably, this tree can probably become the main source of panacea among the demons. You know, taking the Kingdom of Paris as an example, the annual output of high-level recovery medicine will not exceed one barrel, not to mention that the method of making panacea has long been lost. If Dean is told about the existence of this tree, he will definitely be shocked.

"I have a feeling... that even if Miss Ella doesn't become a demon king, she'll still have countless wealth."

“Ahahaha…”

Although it may seem like a waste of talent, the use of "Terrain Search" in collection is indeed abnormal and beyond specification. Take the maze treasure chests as an example. I found at least three-digit treasure chests on the way here, some of which even hid artifact-level equipment above the Crimson Gold level.

Of course, most of those treasure chests were guarded by monsters, making them inaccessible to ordinary people. For example, one of the emblems, the "Life Seal," possessed the powerful ability to resurrect its wearer, but it was currently encased in layers of tree roots by the level 87 monster before them, making it impossible for anyone to obtain. If this were a game, players would definitely curse it out as impossible.

Putting the tree roots in her hand back into storage, Ella coughed twice out of self-respect and brought the topic back to the original point.

"Now let's go see the maze manager."

"The labyrinth manager? Is he the one who called Miss Ella at night?"

"Well... for now, yes, but perhaps it can't be called a 'human'."

"Not a living thing?"

"Well, Lotte will know soon."

Scratching her cheek with a wry smile, Ella pointed to the ground.

"Go down first. The floor is made of illusion, so when you step on it you'll enter another dimension."

"Okay, Miss Ella."

What Ella didn't mention was that there was only one place on the floor that led to the correct passage. If they went to the wrong place, they would be swallowed by the trap below in the blink of an eye. Of course, because "Terrain Search" had the ability to see through all traps and magic circles, there was no way the two of them could go wrong.

Slowly falling vertically from mid-air to the ground, to be on the safe side, Ella decided to go down by herself first to test it out - because of the light shield, Lotte could maintain flying even without holding her hand.

"I'll go down and take a look first. Lotte will follow in a bit."

"Um."

Releasing Lotte's hand, Ella took a deep breath and carefully stepped on the floor. As expected, she passed through without any delay. From the outside, it felt like her feet were swallowed by the floor.

"Yeah, no problem. I'll go down first, okay?"

After receiving Lotte's affirmative answer, Ella flapped her pure white wings behind her and sank into another space under the floor.

This is a huge cylindrical world with a diameter of about 100 meters. Unlike the part above that has been invaded by tree roots, this place is filled with dazzling dark blue light. There is a quaint castle-like spiral staircase on the wall, and the level of cleanliness is also extraordinary. Perhaps because of the counterattack barrier arranged in the room, you can see the tree roots that want to take root here losing water and withering.

What attracted Ella's attention most was a blue crystal floating in the center of the room. This diamond-shaped crystal, at least two people tall, floated steadily one foot away from the pool on the ground. There was a small circular pool at the bottom of the room to isolate the crystal from visitors. Ella, who had already stepped on the ground, could only look up at it from five meters away. The dark blue light emitted by the crystal made the entire space full of bizarre feeling, as if entering another world.

After taking a quick look, Ella returned to the ceiling to confirm that there was no danger and brought Lotte in with her.

"Is this the labyrinth manager? So beautiful..."

Looking up at the crystal with Ella, Lotte murmured in ecstasy.

"At first I thought it was an inanimate monster, but it turned out to be just crystal. But there's been no reaction so far, is it broken?"

And as far as I know, there is no such facility in the maze of the Western Demon Territory. Of course, considering that the maze of the Western Demon Territory is much larger than that of the Eastern Demon Territory, I can't be completely sure.

As if it had heard Ella's words, the dark blue light emitted by the crystal gradually receded and became extremely faint.

"You have finally arrived, my Lord."

“Eh?!”

"Ms. Ella, calm down."

"Well……"

To hide her embarrassment, Ella coughed twice.

"Ahem, Lord, are you referring to me?"

"Of course, only you, the Demon King—the elder of all things—are qualified."

"That sound is kind of mechanical. Could it be another one made by the previous Demon King? Well, let's get down to business first."

"Elder of All Creation? What is that?"

Crystal was silent for a moment.

"...Has my Lord lost his memory?"

"Let me be clear, I'm not some demon king."

"No, this is the only thing that can't be wrong. You carry the noble blood of the Demon King... Could it be that—you are a descendant of my Lord?"

For some reason, the mechanical female voice suddenly had a hint of excitement, which reminded Ella of the doting tone of her grandfather when she returned to his house in the countryside as a child.

"Put those aside for now. Were you calling me at night?"

"Yes."

"Is there a problem?"

After hearing Ella's words, the crystal's light dimmed again.

"I need your...help."

"help?"

"I need you to provide me with the magic power and blood to drive the maze."

Crystal sounded a little embarrassed.

"Magic power is no problem, but how much blood do you need?"

If you want to fill the entire pool, it would probably be impossible even if you squeeze all the blood in your body.

"I can't see your stats right now, so you must be better than your mother...?"

"Mother? The previous Demon King was a woman?"

"…I'm deeply sorry, but due to an unknown force, the relevant data has been lost."

"Another One God again... Even the memories of this place have been taken away. Well, it's no big deal if I don't know. Let's continue with the previous topic."

"Yes, I need 5,000 points of magic power to restore my previous strength, and only one drop of blood will do."

"Five thousand points..."

When I'm in the Loli God state, my magic power limit is 9990, so 5,000 points is not a difficult thing.

Just as Ella was about to agree, Lotte beside her tugged at her sleeve.

"Miss Ella, five thousand mana points...isn't that too much, no matter how you look at it?"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"But she hasn't explained her role yet."

As if having heard what Lotte said, Crystal instantly emitted a dazzling brilliance and spoke with considerable pride.

"As the most advanced intelligent tool ever created by my Lord, I can alter the entire maze and its surroundings. Even reforging magical weapons is no problem. As long as I am here, no one can breach the defenses of the Branch of Disaster."

"Change the environment? What is that? And how does it relate to the defense of the Branch of Disaster?"

Maybe I'll give Camisia a surprise.

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help but feel excited.

"According to the instructions set by my Lord, I can only tell you after you register as the new owner."

"Registering as the new owner requires five thousand points of magic power and one drop of blood, right?"

"Yes, considering the 5,000 points of magic power, you can complete it in a year."

"That's fine, let's get started now. How do we do it?"

"Hehehe, your personality is still the same as my Lord's. You like to get anxious at times like this. You just need to inject your magic power and blood into the pool."

Although generally speaking, injecting magic into water will cause the magic to dissipate, since the other party said so, there is no reason to ask specifically. While thinking about these things, Ella squatted down and reached her hand into the crystal clear pool.

——Unexpectedly with some heat.

"It's only 5,000 mana points. Wouldn't injecting it all at once be too rough? Let's do it 100 points at a time."

With the infusion of magic power, the brightness of the crystal gradually increased. Perhaps it had already recognized Ella as its master, and the crystal began to explain to Ella the functions it had previously retained.

The so-called changing of the maze environment means transforming the landform by connecting the earth veins. For example, the original passage can be turned into a dead end, or lava can be turned into an ice cave. Of course, it also includes transforming the land into soft rotten soil that is more suitable for growing crops. This effect is not only useful for the maze, but also for the entire Branch of Disaster and the surrounding cities.

In addition, managers can also change the climate to some extent. Although they cannot reverse summer into winter, there is nothing wrong with simply creating clouds and rain.

Theoretically, the manager can even create an unlimited number of rock golems - provided there is sufficient magic power. Every change made by the manager consumes a large amount of magic power, and the magic power consumed is not only from the magic power in the manager's own magic pool, but also from the magic power stored in the earth veins. As the manager himself said, if huge changes are made in a short period of time, such as large earthquakes and tsunamis, it is very likely that the entire earth veins will be exhausted, making it impossible to grow crops on the land, people's experience points will decrease, and the maze will gradually disappear. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to initiate large-scale landform changes.

[This is a completely autonomous defense system... The previous Demon King was quite imaginative.]

Ella couldn't help but complain in her heart. Not to mention the defense, for herself, with the assistance of the manager, the people in the demon tribe no longer have to worry about the harvest of crops.

After the manager finished speaking, Ruthie asked a question.

"If the environment can be changed, does that mean the monsters can be kept in order within the maze?"

"Of course, not only is it orderly, I can also clear out the monsters here. In the past, the ninetieth-floor guardian attempted to invade here while my magic power was exhausted. Now it's time to return it."

"But it's level 87, right?"

Continuing to inject magic power, Ella looked at the manager worriedly. The manager was a magic item, so there was no such thing as a level.
